How to Make Almost Hummus
- Rinse and drain 1 (15-ounce) can of garbanzo beans.
- Place the rinsed chickpeas in a food processor or blender. Add 1/4 cup of water.
- Blend until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.
- In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for approximately 3 minutes, or until shimmering.
- Add 1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
- Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cloves of garlic, minced, and sauté for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Remove the onion and garlic mixture from the heat.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil, 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds (crushed), 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon cumin to the food processor with the chickpeas.
- Pulse on medium speed in short bursts until well combined.
- Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to the food processor.
- Process on low speed until the onion pieces are finely chopped but still slightly visible.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Use within 3 days.
